If you feel tired of stepping over that high, dangerous barrier every single day just to wash up, we can help you swap that outdated basin for a modern, walk-in washing space. This simple change instantly upgrades your daily routine, making your bathroom much safer and far more open. You can get a free estimate today to start planning this fast, stress-free transformation in your home.
Many homeowners realize that their old deep-soaking basins actually take up way too much precious square footage. While those big deep basins seemed like a great idea years ago, they usually just collect dust and laundry nowadays. Because of this, switching to a spacious, low-profile washing enclosure makes perfect sense for your daily life.
When you make this change, you immediately gain a spacious area to move around without feeling cramped. Besides, stepping over a high porcelain rim with slippery wet feet is a recipe for a bad fall. By removing that old barrier, you create a seamless entry point that keeps everyone in your household much safer.
Our local team specializes in pulling out these old heavy fixtures and installing beautiful, modern walk-in bases. Since we customize every single project, you get to choose the exact colors, wall surrounds, and fixtures that match your style. This means you do not have to settle for a boring, basic setup that looks like a cheap motel bathroom.
If you are worried about the mess, we have some good news for you. We work fast and keep our work zone incredibly tidy so your home stays clean. Honestly, most homeowners are shocked at how quickly we can complete this swap without disrupting their entire week.
Living in Tangipahoa Parish means dealing with hot, sticky summers where you need quick, refreshing rinses rather than long, hot baths. Our local community, which has a population of 4,393 people, features many beautiful older homes with outdated bathrooms that need a little love. Many families here want to modernize their spaces to match today's busy lifestyle.
With a median household income of $50,731 in this lovely area, local homeowners want smart investments that add real value to their properties. Updating your washroom is one of the absolute best ways to boost your home equity. On top of that, it makes your daily routine feel like a trip to a fancy spa right in your own neighborhood.
Whether you live near the heart of town or in the surrounding rural areas of ZIP code 70422, we bring our mobile showroom tools directly to your doorstep. This lets you see the high-quality materials in your own lighting before you spend a single dime. We love helping our neighbors make their homes more functional and beautiful.
| Feature | Immediate Benefit to You | Style Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Low-step threshold | Prevents trips and slips | Sleek and modern look |
| Built-in seating | Allows comfortable resting | Matches high-end spa designs |
| Corner caddies | Keeps shampoo organized | Reduces clutter completely |
| Grab bars | Provides extra hand support | Blends seamlessly with hardware |
Perhaps the biggest advantage of this upgrade is how incredibly easy the new surfaces are to keep clean. Old grouted tile around a deep basin tends to attract mold and stubborn mildew that requires hours of painful scrubbing on your knees. In contrast, our modern solid-surface walls wipe down in seconds with just a microfiber cloth and mild soap.
This means you get to spend your weekends enjoying life instead of fighting stubborn bathroom grime. Furthermore, the non-porous materials we use resist yellowing and fading over time. Your washroom will look brand new for years down the road without requiring any heavy chemical cleaners.
Another major plus is the sheer amount of extra elbow room you will experience. Since a standard basin has sloped sides, it actually limits your actual standing area quite a bit. Once we install a flat-bottomed pan, you gain a surprising amount of floor space to stand comfortably under the water stream.
To make things even better, we can install gorgeous glass doors that reflect light throughout the room. This visual trick makes small, dark Louisiana bathrooms feel twice as big and much brighter. You will love how much more inviting your entire bathroom feels every time you walk through the door.
We believe your washroom should reflect your personal taste and meet your specific physical needs. For instance, we can install comfortable built-in benches or sturdy fold-up seats for anyone who prefers to sit while washing. This option provides incredible peace of mind for older family members or anyone with balance concerns.
Additionally, we offer a wide variety of hardware finishes like brushed nickel, matte black, or classic oil-rubbed bronze. These choices allow you to match your new fixtures with the existing hardware in your home. You can also choose from different wall textures that mimic expensive stone or classic subway tile.
We also pay close attention to your storage needs by adding custom shelving recessed directly into the wall panels. This prevents your shampoo bottles and soap bars from piling up on the floor. Everything stays organized, clean, and exactly where you need it.
We start every project with a friendly, pressure-free visit to your home to look at your existing setup. During this consultation, we take precise measurements and discuss what you want your new space to look like. After that, we provide you with a detailed, written estimate that explains all your options.
Once you approve the plan, our skilled installers prepare the area to protect your floors and walls. We carefully extract the old, heavy cast iron or acrylic basin without damaging your surrounding plumbing. Then, we inspect the subfloor underneath to ensure there is no hidden water damage or rot before we proceed.
Next, we upgrade the drain system to handle a higher volume of water quickly and efficiently. We secure the new slip-resistant pan directly to the subfloor for maximum stability. Finally, we install the beautiful wall surrounds and your chosen fixtures with waterproof seals that prevent any future leaks.
We know that home renovations can feel overwhelming, so we work hard to minimize any noise and dust. Our crew arrives on time with all the necessary tools and materials ready to go. We treat your home with the utmost respect, just like we would treat our own mothers' houses.
Because we plan everything out in advance, we usually finish the entire job much faster than traditional remodeling companies.

Count the baths your household actually ran last year. In most homes we visit, the honest number is somewhere between zero and three, and yet every single morning somebody swings a leg over fifteen inches of porcelain rim to stand up and shower inside a fixture built for lying down. The tub charges rent daily and works a few evenings a year.
Nothing dramatic follows from that. Nobody is in danger because a bathtub exists, and if long soaks are part of your week, keep the tub and enjoy it with our blessing. The case for the conversion is plainer: when the tub has become a shower tray with high sides, you are paying, in caution and in cleaning, for a feature you retired years ago.
The swap itself is smaller than most people picture. The supply lines, the drain and the alcove walls are already exactly where a shower wants them, which is why this is a job measured in days. We are not building a new bathroom; we are letting the one you have stop pretending it still gives baths.
The same alcove, photographed the way the week actually unfolds. Weather never delays this one; it all happens indoors.
Floors along the hallway get covered, the water goes off for a few hours, and the bathtub is cut free and carried out, tile flange and all. With the alcove stripped, the plumber moves the drain to where the new pan wants it and sets the new valve at shower height. By supper the room is bare, clean and ready.
The base arrives first: an acrylic pan set dead level on a mortar bed, or a sloped, waterproofed floor when the plan says curbless. Then the walls close in, either grout-free panels bonded in a single afternoon or backer board ready for tile. Everything from here on is watertight before it is pretty.
The glass panel or door is drilled, hung and plumbed straight, the trim goes on, and the silicone lines are drawn last. Silicone wants a day to cure, so the first shower usually happens the following morning, which is exactly how we schedule the walkthrough.
Both are real showers in the same alcove. The difference is the entry, and what has to happen under it.
| What you weigh | Low curb | Curbless |
|---|---|---|
| What stands at the entry | A tidy threshold about 3 to 4 inches tall | Nothing. The bathroom floor rolls straight into the shower |
| Cost, installed | The friendlier bracket, most jobs land here | Roughly a third to a half more, the floor is rebuilt |
| What the crew rebuilds | The alcove only; the bathroom floor stays shut | Part of the bathroom floor, sloped and waterproofed |
| Water containment | The curb and glass do the holding | The slope and a linear drain do the holding |
| Suits best | Straight swaps on a budget and upstairs bathrooms | Wheels, walkers, and anyone planning to stay put for decades |
Undecided is a fine answer on the form. The site visit settles it with a tape measure, not a sales pitch.
Removal
Cut free, hauled out and off to recycling, with floors and doorways shielded on the way. The loudest hour of the conversion, and it wraps before most jobs have begun.
Plumbing
Tub drains sit at one end; showers drain where the pan says. We move what needs moving and swap the old valve for a pressure-balanced one.
The base
A level acrylic pan for most swaps, a mortar-built sloped floor for curbless plans. Either way it is tested with water before anything covers it.
The walls
Grout-free panels go up in an afternoon and wipe clean forever. Tile takes longer, costs more, and looks like whatever you can imagine.
The glass
A fixed panel keeps things open and easy to clean; a hinged door closes the warmth in. Both are tempered, both are set dead straight.
The finish
Shelving, the hand shower, clean caulk lines and a walkthrough. We leave the cure time in writing so the first shower is not a gamble.
| The job | Usual range | Inside the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard tub-to-shower conversion | $3,100 - $5,600 | Tub out, low curb pan, wall panels, new valve, glass panel. |
| Curbless conversion | $4,900 - $8,800 | The floor is rebuilt flush and sloped to a linear drain. |
| Glass: fixed panel or hinged door | $450 - $1,400 | A single panel sits at the low end, a framed door at the top. |
| Walls: PVC panels or tile | $1,100 - $3,900 | Panels finish in a day; tile adds days and takes any look you want. |
| Tear-out only | $450 - $950 | The tub gone and the alcove left clean for another trade. |
| Small job minimum | around $2,400 | Even the simplest swap books a licensed plumber and a full crew. |
Wall condition, drain position and the glass you choose move every line. The visit pins the figure down, and the figure then holds.
A bathtub drains at one end through its own trap; most showers want the drain nearer the middle, or along one edge when the plan is curbless. Sometimes the existing trap is close enough to reuse and sometimes it has to travel a foot or two, which means opening a strip of floor. We can usually tell which from the basement or the crawl space during the visit, and the paperwork you sign already names which one you are getting.
Houses older than the seventies like to add a surprise: galvanized supply lines rusted nearly shut, a cast iron trap that crumbles at a touch, or framing that got damp decades ago and kept it quiet. None of it is rare and none of it is ruinous, but it is your call, not ours. When something like that turns up, work pauses, you get photographs and a price for the fix, and nothing is billed until you have said yes to it. A conversion should never be the job where the invoice writes itself.
QIs losing the only bathtub a resale mistake?
AAgents around Amite repeat one rule: a family house shows better with a tub somewhere in it. If this is your only tub and small children are in your plans, we put that on the table during the visit and you decide with open eyes. If another bathroom keeps its tub, or the buyers you expect are shower people, the argument evaporates.
QHow long do we go without washing?
AThe toilet and sink stay usable every evening, and the water is only off for stretches on day one. The shower itself is ready once the silicone cures, so figure on missing roughly three days of showers at home. Plenty of clients time the job before a weekend away.
QDoes all the old tile come off the walls?
AOn the alcove walls, yes, because the new waterproofing needs to start from the studs, not from forty-year-old grout. Tile outside the alcove stays put, and we cut a clean line where the two meet.
QCan the new shower use the tub drain?
AThe pipe itself is nearly always reusable; the position is the question. A low curb pan can often sit its drain within reach of the old trap. Curbless floors want a relocated or linear drain, and that difference is priced before demo, never discovered after.
QDo we need a permit for the swap?
AA like-for-like fixture swap usually rides on a simple plumbing permit, and moving the drain can add an inspection. We file whatever your jurisdiction wants and fold the cost into the written price.
QWhat if there is rot behind the tub?
AIt happens, mostly around the old tile flange. You get photographs the hour we find it, a firm price for the repair, and the choice to proceed or pause. The framing fix is usually a morning, not a remodel.
